Adelaides Lament — текст песни (Barbra Streisand)





(spoken) it says here in this book...

The average unmarried female

Basically insecure

Due to some long frustration

May react

With psychosomatic symptoms

Difficult to endure

Affecting the upper respiratory tract

In other words,

Just from waiting around

For that plain little band of gold

A person can develop a cold

You can spray her wherever you figure

The streptococci lurk

You can give her a shot

For whatever shes got

But it just wont work

If shes tired of getting the fish-eye

From the hotel clerk

A person

Can develop a cold

(spoken) it says here...

The female remaining single

Just in the legal sense

Shows a neurotic tendency

(spoken) see note...see note

Note: chronic organic syndromes

Toxic or hypertense

Involving the eye,

The ear, the nose and throat

In other words,

Just from wondering

Whether the wedding is on or off,

A person

Can develop a cough

You can feed her all day

With the vitamin a

And the bromo fizz

But the medicine never

Gets anywhere near

Where the trouble is

If shes getting a kind

Of name for herself

And the name aint "his"

A person

Can develop a cough

And further more

Just from stalling

And stalling and stalling

The wedding trip

A person

Can develop la grippe

When they get on a train

For niagra

And she can hear church bells chime

The compartment is air conditioned

And the mood sublime

Then they get off at saratoga

For the fourteenth time

A person

Can develop la grippe

La grippe, la post nasal drip

With the wheezes

And the sneezes

And a sinus thats really a pip!

From a lack of community property

And a feeling shes getting too old

A person

Can develop

A big, bad cold!
